Value-Add

Marquette is uniquely focused at identifying areas to improve an asset physically and operationally in order to increase the value of a property. While most investment firms stop at the initial acquisition, Marquette’s dedicated property team works diligently to execute the value-add business plan that is created by the acquisitions team.

"Marquette's success is largely due to our strong track record in executing value-add business plans, turnaround opportunities, and developments that maximize returns for our institutional partners."

NICK RYAN - CEO, MARQUETTE COMPANIES

Our value-add strategies include:

Below Replacement Cost

Purchase strong Class A and B assets for below replacement cost

Rising construction costs means some assets can be purchased today for better return than building

The right basis insures there is still plenty of room to exit at a good basis

Lagging Rents

Assets where the current net effective in place means rents are lagging behind the rest of the comp set

Allows implementation of a value-add strategy where the renovation or repositioning is simply moving rents up to meet the rest of the market
